Exclusive with Africa’s Richest Woman Folonruso Alakija at 70


The Nigerian oil and gas industry has been dominated by men, and it is seldom you find a woman occupying a position as powerful as the one occupied by Apostle Folurunso Alakija.

She is one of Nigeria’s most successful business women. She wears many hats; an author, a philanthropist, a real estate mogul…

After establishing herself in the fashion business, she transitioned to the oil industry when she secured an oil bloc which later turned out to be of the most lucrative in Nigeria.

In celebration of her 70th Birthday, Apostle Alakija shared the secret to her success and much more in this special feature with ARISE News anchor Ojy Okpe.
